I believe you get to tour the Keck scope on the summit and spend the night
at the control room in Waimea, which sounds a lot better than the reverse.
I'll soon be posting a report on my recent trip to the Big Island, during
which I toured a summit scope (not the Keck) and chatted with that night's
observing astronomer for free.

..and read carefully. You don't even get to use the telescope at Keck on
the Mountain. You are in the "control room" which I think is way down
the mountain. IMHO, Lotta bucks for staring at a monitor all night, no
matter how charming Marcy is.
