Narrative:
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.

Title: 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.
