This depends on the church you attend. Since this mass is considered the first of the year, it tends to be at least two hours, but can be as long as four or five. It all depends on what the church provides, singing, gospel, etc.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Easter Vigil usually runs a minimum of 2 1/2 hours, it is the closest thing that we still have to the Mass of the first and second centuries. Depending on the number of readings, the number of candidates and catechumens, and the length of the homily, it could easily run over three hours, but most priests try to hold it down to the minimum of 2 1/2 hours.
