If a topological space $X$ is locally compact and I have that $x in C$ for $C$ compact, is there a $U$ of $x$...

The definition of a locally compact topological space $X$, according to my notes, is that for every $x in X$, there exists compact $C subset X$ such that $x in C$ with a neighbourhood $U$ of $x$ with $x in U subset C$.
My question is a slight variation of this. If a topological space $X$ is locally compact and I have that $x in C$ for $C$ compact, does there exist a neighbourhood $U$ of $x$ such that $x in U subset C$. The difference is now I am starting with a compact set.

Take $X = mathbb{R}$, $x in X$ and ${x} = C$.

But $C$ might have no interior.
For example, let $X=mathbb{R}^2$, let $x$ be any point of $X$, and let $C$ be a line segment through $x$.
Even if $C$ has interior, the point $x$ might be on the boundary of $C$.
For example, using $X=mathbb{R}^2$ again, let $x$ be any point of $X$, and let $C$ be a closed disk whose circular boundary passes through $x$.
