Too much light behind your subject? TURN ON FLASH!

This photo was taken inside Luxor (Pyramid) casino, in Las Vegas. There was very strong backlight so camera was fooled. In Auto mode, it gave us following photo. It was a disaster!

As per Trial and Error Photography system, what is the problem here? Camera was fooled by very bright sky (backlight). I needed light on the faces so I turned on Flash. (If your camera does not let you force it to use Flash in Auto mode, please change your camera to P or Program mode. This is an Auto like mode but here Camera would work like your slave instead of acting like your boss ;)

Here is the new photo with the flash. Maybe this is not a great photo. I know. I am not entering this photo in any contest. I wanted to share this photo with my guests and I am pretty happy I have a photo which would stay in their memory and albums for years!
