Length for this adventure varies a lot based on play style and also where the treasures end up being placed (mine were at the Blue Water Inn, Argynvostholdt, and the Abbey). But I think most groups would average 23-28 4-hour sessions, or 46-56 2-hour sessions.

Does Curse of Strahd have a dragon?
All of them. When Strahd drove his enemies into the valley long ago, determined to annihilate them, the last thing he expected to encounter was a silver dragon. The dragon, who called himself Argynvost, had come to the valley years earlier in the guise of a nobleman named Lord Argynvost.
How long does The Curse of Strahd campaign last?
I prefer campaigns that last no longer than 4 to 6 months. So I’m looking for some insight on how long it takes to run through CoS. I play weekly for about 4 hours at a stretch and the way I run things means we tend to get a lot done per session.

What happens in Vallaki in Curse of Strahd?
Vallaki is a political powder keg with multiple fuses all burning at the same time. And when your players get there, those fuses are almost spent. With all the different side plots going down in Vallaki, the likelihood of things going well while your party is there is quite slim.
How to deal with Ireena in Curse of Strahd?
For the combat issue you could ask the players to run her during combat. Give them her stats and they are ready. This will also emphasize that she is on the player’s side, not working for the DM. To properly introduce her you could have a classic campfire scene.
