consecutive sentences, and we decline Estes' invitation to compel such a
                requirement. See, e.g., Hughes v. State, 116 Nev. 327, 333, 996 P.2d 890,
                893 (2000) (noting that "this court has never required the district courts to
                utter 'talismanic' phrases" and instead "looks to the record as a whole to
                determine whether the sentencing court actually exercised its discretion").
                We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion, Houk v.
                State, 103 Nev. 659, 664, 747 P.2d 1376, 1379 (1987), and we
                            ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
