To do away with flash, you need to increase the ISO, use a wider aperture and reduce the shutter speed.
Sometimes you need only to adjust one, but in extreme situations, a combination of all three may be necessary, including the use of a tripod and VR lens.

There are much to be said about VR lenses and buying a Nikon DX VR 18-200mm probably will help a lot if you prefer to go the VR with automatic setting way.

More details can be found in this report for VR lenses and their effects as well as for evaluation on Nikon DX VR 18-200mm.
