It's unlikely, but one never knows.  The thing of it is that the Wynn casino stopped using that color MANY years ago by now and probably didn't have a huge amount to begin with - hence the deck's rarity.

You're more likely to find a canceled deck, floor used, or a recent or current color.

In the casino gift shop they will have a hole in them. and I doubt they would be the same.

I haven't seen drill-canceled casino cards in a long while.  These days, they run a Sharpie on the edges, creating big, crude stripes, one per side, and they put the cards in the box and saw an entire corner off, box and all.  The cards are never perfectly aligned for the cut, thus it's pretty ragged looking and to a different depth on each card.

I thought it was hysterically funny when I noticed they were using canceled decks in the movie "21."  They took the crudely canceled cards, trimmed the corner to be neat and trimmed the opposite corner in the same manner to match, as if this is what casino cards look like.

I'm reasonably sure that the casinos stopped just drilling a deck to cancel it because some people found ways to conceal the hole and make the card look authentic and uncanceled.  With the new method, there's absolutely no mistaking a canceled card for a card still in use - even a blind man could tell the difference.
