Florida Sen. Marco Rubio dined with Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson at a steakhouse in Washington Monday night, a person with direct knowledge of the meeting told Fox News.
Adelson, a casino mogul, pumped nearly $100 million of his own money into super PACs to help 2012 GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and eventual GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
His meeting with Rubio comes as the Florida Republican weighs his own White House bid for 2016.
Rubio donors are aware of the uphill battle in competing against former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's fundraising machine, especially with a wealthy donor base in Florida that has mostly committed to Bush.
However, Rubio has made an aggressive effort to stay in the game and remain in the top tier of potential candidates as he prepares his 2016 decision.
Rubio donors sources also have confirmed there is a $50 million fundraising target before the Iowa caucuses.
PAC aides are aggressively courting Romney's former finance chairman, Spencer Zwick, who is perceived as a gatekeeper to Romney's formidable donor network. However, many of these former Romney backers are now supporting Bush.
Rubio sources said Monday he could make up his mind as early as April on a 2016 presidential run.

Rubio dines with Republican mega-donor
FRESNO, Calif. The Republican mayor of the California city of Fresno has decided not to run for the United States Senate, an adviser said.
Mayor Ashley Swearengin will not seek the seat being vacated by Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in 2016, the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/17G4mnT ) and Sacramento Bee (http://bit.ly/1G3mEhA ) reported Saturday.
"She's letting people know this weekend that she's decided against a run," Swearengin adviser Tim Clark told The Bee ahead of the state Republican Party's convention in Sacramento.
Swearengin, who lost a bid for state controller in 2014, is the latest Republican to steer clear of the race.
There is no competitive Republican candidate currently seeking the seat, and while a Field Poll last week found that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would be an automatic front-runner, she doesn't want the job.
In a University of Southern California Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll released Friday, Swearengin received the largest support among potential Republican candidates: 9 percent of registered voters who were surveyed. But only 19 percent of voters surveyed could identify Swearengin, who was elected mayor in 2008.
Democratic Attorney General Kamala Harris, who is the only major candidate who has announced she is running, received 28 percent support in the poll.
Nearly a quarter of voters were undecided.
