On our descent; visual approach to 26L; pilot flying called for Flaps 9. I selected the flaps to the 9 position; and immediately got a Flap Fail indication on the EICAS and verified the flap position; it was 0. I cycled the flap lever back to the 0 and back to the 9 position; and we both agreed the indicator was still at 0 and we did not feel the effects of the flaps moving. I notified ATC that we had a flap failure and we needed delayed vectors to runway. I believe [we] were leveled at 7;000 FT MSL; and received vectors while I ran the QRC and briefed the no flap landing on 22. I declared the emergency with approach; and they vectored us onto final. A normal approach and; albeit fast; landing were made; and we taxied to the gate.The Captain contacted Maintenance Control; and we were walked through a couple of unsuccessful resets. Maintenance decided to send maintenance techs in the morning to troubleshoot. We went to the hotel for our reduced rest.
An EMB-145 EICAS alerted FLAPS FAIL when the Flap 9 was selected; so the QRH was completed; an emergency declared and an uneventful landing followed.
