MADISON, Wis. -

Gov. Scott Walker is in Las Vegas to meet with billionaire casino mogul and Republican super donor Sheldon Adelson, as Walker continues to consider running for president in 2016.

Walker's campaign spokeswoman Alleigh Marre said Tuesday that Walker was in Las Vegas for "public and private events."

Adelson's top political adviser Andy Abboud confirms that Walker is meeting with Adelson. Abboud says, "About every elected official comes by to say hello."

Adelson gave the Wisconsin Republican Party $650,000 in late October and he previously gave Walker $250,000 during the 2012 recall.

Who is the best GOP to get who will guarantee a loss? I don't want Rubio for sure. He is dangerous and will get a lot of votes. Paul? No! Cruz? Maybe. He is batty that even GOP thinks he is too conservative. This election year historically changes party in Presidential years so we have to be careful. The Demographics are not yet completely there yet. Getting closer yes, but not completely guaranteed.
