Actually, Vegas does have lots of full-service weddings, with full size chapels, catering, and services in many of the casinos. While it possible to get a $50 wedding, it isn't the only possibility. I have no idea what location Alizée and Jeremy tied the knot. It could have been in the Little White Wedding Chapel, or it could have been the Bellagio. Both ends of the scale are readily available.
I don't know what reputation Las Vegas has in France, though it is most certainly a destination for travellers from around the world. It has bad sides, and good sides. It is, without a doubt, impressive. I'm a city boy, and am used to the streets of New York, Boston, and Shang-Hai, but I must admit even I was impressed by some parts of the strip.
As for the cost, I've no idea what kind of money Alizée made from her albums, tour, and marketing. Suffice to say, if the everything she made in her whole career was equal to even 10% of what somebody like Britney Spears made in a single year, she should never have money problems again, and the cost of a flight to Vegas would be nothing.
