UA-1260 from Las Vegas,NV to Denver,CO (USA), was on final approach to runway 34R when the crew went around early. The aircraft climbed to 8000 feet, the crew declared emergency and subsequently reported a flaps issue, they could not extend their flaps into the landing position. When requested to climb to 11,000 feet the crew advised "with that much stuff we have out we'd rather not go back into the ice" and remained on 8000 feet MSL. The aircraft landed safely on runway 34L at a higher than normal speed (about 190 knots over ground) about 30 minutes after the go around.
